RIM BlackBerry 8830 - silver (Verizon Wireless)

The RIM BlackBerry 8830 offers dual-mode functionality so you can use the phone globally. It's also EV-DO capable, has a built-in music and video player, and offers solid performance.

The BlackBerry 8830 doesn't support Verizon's V Cast services at the moment, and the handset is on the larger side. There is no camera option and the phone doesn't support stereo Bluetooth headsets.

For the globe-trotting executive, the RIM BlackBerry 8830 is a powerful voice and messaging tool that offers world roaming and solid performance.

The flexibility of GSM international roaming, paired with BlackBerry's easy-to-use messaging capabilities, gives the BlackBerry 8830 World Phone an unbeatable one-two punch for business users and frequent international travelers.

"Excellent but no Bluetooth tethered modem for MS-OS"

Stop buying Microsoft's ****.

Excellent email and voice tool

This phone works OK as a Bluetooth tethered modem with Apple computers. But not with Microsoft's operating systems (e.g., Win XP, etc.). Microsoft just doesn't give a dam (as usual).
